Watch This

The Bears returned two interceptions for touchdowns Sunday in their 41-3 win over Jacksonville. It was the second straight game they’d turned that trick.

The Bears also had one three weeks ago. Those five touchdowns are only one fewer than Jacksonville’s offense has this season.

The high scorers Sunday were Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, who each had 36-yard interception returns. Wasn’t Chicago’s defense supposed be getting too old for this?

That was the thought before the season, but the Bears have now allowed only 57 points in five games. That could make them the NFL’s No. 1- ranked defense after this weekend’s games.

Chicago was ranked No. 17 in total defense last year. This year’s resurgence has started with a dominant defensive line. The Bears (4-1) will now enjoy a bye week. That’s the only thing that seems capable of stopping Chicago’s offense, er, defense.

Other things we learned Sunday:

The Jaguars are worse than expected

They actually were tied 3-3 at halftime, then their lack of everything came into play.

Blaine Gabbert was 17-of-33 for 142 yards and no touchdowns, unless you count the two he threw to the Bears. The Jaguars’ defense did sack Jay Cutler in the third quarter. It was Jacksonville’s first sack in 15 quarters.

It was the third straight home loss for the Jaguars (1-4). They have a bye, then travel to Oakland and Green Bay. Sounds like a 1-6 start.
